Lahore, March 6

A Pakistani court on Saturday declared Leader of Opposition Shahbaz Sharif’s daughter and son-in-law as ‘proclaimed offenders’ (POs) in a corruption case.

The Accountability Court, Lahore, had already issued arrest warrants for Rabia Imran and Ali Imran Yousuf in the Saaf Pani Company corruption case.

Both Rabia and Yousuf are ‘absconding’ in the United Kingdom, officials said. The accountability court has sought a record of Rabia and Yousuf’s properties in Pakistan on the next hearing.

Sharif, who is also the president of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), called the matter ‘political victimisation’. — PTI

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
